About Seal Gusaling Arkibo

Ang Seal ay isang gusaling arkibo na matatagpuan sa Wuhan, Hubei, Tsina. Ang gusali ay may kabuuang sahig na sukat na 57,487 metro kwadrado at taas na 66 metro. Pinagsasama ng anyo nito ang isang tore at isang podium, na nagpapalaya ng shared space sa mas mababang palapag at naglalagay ng imbakan ng arkibo sa mas mataas na palapag. Magkahiwalay ang mga daanan para sa publiko at para sa mga propesyonal. Ang facade ay inspirado ng Chinese seal at naglalahad ng mga timeline ng mga makasaysayang pangyayari sa lungsod. Ginamit ang mga lokal na materyales at mababang-carbon na teknolohiya. Bukas sa publiko ang isang multipurpose hall at isang malaking silid-pulungan.
